Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.796595

Composed by Gary D. Belshaw. Folk,Holiday,Patriotic. Score and parts. 196 pages. DR GARY D BELSHAW #2958023. Published by DR GARY D BELSHAW (A0.796595).

Set of Parts. 194 pages, letter format sheets, intended to be printed in booklet format; blank sheets are included to make each part come out with the appropriate number of pages.

Composed for the U. S. Naval Academy Band, the Navy's oldest band, and the third oldest military ban in the United States. The march is a tribute to the ensemble in honor of its 150th Anniversary and premiered at their gala Sesquicentennial concert in 2003. In 6/8 meter, the march features a chromatic Introduction built on a 12-tone row. The First and Second strains (in F Major) are lively, bright, and completely tonal. The incipit of the trio (in B-flat) consists of the first four notes of Anchors Aweigh. This is significant for the USNA Band because it was composed by Lt. Charles A. Zimmermann, selected as Bandmaster of the ensemble in 1887 at the age of 26, and Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles, supposed while seated at the Naval Academy Chapel organ. The trio is played three times; the first is interrupted by the Break Strain. The Introduction then serves to both conclude the Break Strain and to transition into the first repeat of the Tiro, this time featuring the saxophone section on the countermelody. One more Break Strain and Introduction builds to the final statement of the Trio, with coda and triplet stinger.

The conductor's score is available separately right here in Sheet Music Plus.
